The grassland that burned on a large scale was very terrifying, not only the horror of the fire, but also the people who originally inhabited the land were not only people, but also some other animals, who began to flee in groups to escape the fire.
The fire on the grassland was really too big, or burned too many plants, and the black smoke rose into the sky, obscuring the sky for an unknown number of areas, even in the Yanmen Pass area, you could see the black sky in the distance.
"Herds of bison, herds of wild horses, herds of wolves, leopards, jackals and all sorts of animals, they are fleeing in droves to the southeast."
Li Tan was talking about the information gathered by the scouts: "Those animals don't attack each other as usual, and no one cares about anyone. ” They are all burned to death, and probably only humans will continue to kill each other knowing that natural disasters are coming, and animals will only obey their instincts and stay away from the kind of disasters that are simply irresistible.
So, if you see all kinds of animals in the food chain that are supposed to attack each other running away "in harmony", you should know that there must be some disaster coming.
"The southeast direction where those animals fled is where the enemy army is" Yu Yi got the answer and couldn't help but gloat a little: "They must be panicking now." ” According to the scout's description, he had seen as many animals in his life as he had seen at first glance, and there were so many species that he could not be identified, with large animals trampling on small ones, and their migration was carried out in a sight of rivers of blood.
Liu Yan can imagine what kind of picture it is, it is not an exaggeration to call it the most cruel elimination of strength and weakness under a round of disasters, not only the weak races will be eliminated by the strong races passing by with hooves, in fact, lack of physical strength, lack of stamina, and lack of intelligence have all become victims in that round of elimination.
Every year, the African continent has a large number of animal populations, and the reason for their migration is not to be discussed, but the old, weak, sick and disabled will die in the middle of the migration, leaving behind some healthy and strong animals.
Although it may seem cruel, the animals that manage to reach their new habitat compete for the opportunity to have offspring, and the genes of the strong are passed on.
"Racial competition has never been gentle."
Liu Yan didn't need everyone to understand, and said: "Nation and nation have always been in the process of competition for survival, and there is no difference between humans and animals. ” In order to survive, almost all means can be used, including setting fire on the grassland, but this time the goal of the Han army in the grassland was not really aimed at the hostile people, but to prevent the locusts in the territory of Xigaoche from moving south, it has to be said that the goal seems to have been achieved, but the consequences are too serious.
Liu Yan asked very pertinently: "How is Rouran's side?"
Sang Yu took on the role of marching chief in the patrol team, and sorting out intelligence was one of the jobs.
He said with an inexplicable expression and tone: "Yu Jiulu's first order after returning was to shrink his forces, including sending people to the front line with the remnants of Donggaoche, Tuoba and Murong. ” They have gradually woken up to the fact that the grassland is really very important to the nomads, so important that no matter what area they set fire, as long as they do it, they must have the consciousness of becoming the public enemy of the grassland.
"We caught some Ding Ling."
Li Tan said with some embarrassment: "Their mission is to go to any place where there are people and spread the news that we have set fires in the grassland. ” "We've speculated."
Sang Yu took over the topic and said: "The relationship between Rouran and Dahan will fall into a freezing point, and there is a possibility that some of them will turn into a hostile relationship.
The rest of the steppe people, including those who have already entered a state of war with us and those who do not, have a great deal of feasibility to unite and point the finger at us. ” Sang Yu's so-called "we" does not refer to the entire Han Kingdom in general, but thinks that if the patrol team does not withdraw, it is almost inevitable that it will fall into a siege.
Li Tan had to say his speculation: "Your Majesty, there is another matter.
He continued with the expression of eating a fly: "The news of the arson grassland may also affect us internally" The Han State annexed a considerable number of ethnic groups, and in addition to the Qiang nationality, which had to be exterminated, a considerable number of Qiang, Di, Xiongnu and some chaotic miscellaneous Hu who invaded the Central Plains became a part of the Han State.
The identity of the Hu people has "changed" into the Han people, which is based on the premise that the Han people have become the overlord again, and it is impossible to judge whether they are sincere or false.
The time for the Han people to regain their dominance was too short, and the time for absorbing Zhuhu was also long and short, and the means were not even mild, only forcing those people to accept annexation in the face of death.
In the era when there was no clear concept of nationality, especially not long after the Hu people had just accepted the concept of nationality, their subordination to the strong was a natural means of survival.
In the past few years, there have naturally been some negative conflicts in the process of integration, but in general there has been a good trend.
That was based on the Han army's repeated victories, and then they did not suffer any obvious discrimination, and the blame was that they were not greatly stimulated.
"Do you think that when they hear the news of the grassland, a rebellion will break out" Liu Yan is actually difficult to make a clear judgment, but he must pay attention to this speculation: "Then, your opinion is to terminate the patrol and let the widow return to Chang'an."
Setting fire to the grasslands will really force the "Han people" who have settled down, and no one can give a clear answer to this.
What they did know was that setting fire to the steppes would cause madness among the nomads, and the expeditions would inevitably be besieged.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
Yu Yi's background is destined to be one of the high-ranking and powerful people from the beginning, he has also stood at the top of the minority, and is currently a member of the minority, and the perspective of looking at things is destined to be just a corner: "Your siege itself must affect the entire Han Dynasty." ” It seems that Liu Yan is destined to be the convergence point of many eyes, and too many people are watching his every move, word and deed.
Once an incident is attacked, it will shake the entire country, and it will also affect the possible next action of other countries against Han.
"If there is a siege in your place, the country will definitely send troops to the king."
Yu Yi was talking about being besieged, not about fighting in the usual sense, and he said with great seriousness: "Your Majesty, in its current form, you need to return to Chang'an. ” Out of dignity, Liu Yan has a repulsive attitude towards retreating from the front line in the face of an imminent war, which is no different from running away in disgrace.
Liu Yan wanted to think about Yu Yi's words, although he didn't want to admit it, but most of the things would develop as Yu Yi said, or he would have been besieged, but there was no reaction in the country, so it was his turn to have the idea of "there is always xx who wants to harm me".
The rest of the people were making eye contact, and some of them actually agreed with Yu Yi's suggestion that there was no need to stay here and wait to be besieged, and the rest had different opinions.
It's just that they can't all advise together, otherwise even if they are kind to Liu Yan, they are thinking about the country, and it will inevitably become a situation of persecution by everyone.
"The army in the northwest" Liu Yan was silent for a while, and after re-speaking, he asked: "Does General Zhengbei have the confidence to defeat within ten days?"
Li Tan didn't dare to hesitate, and replied, "The minister has confidence." ” Liu Yan nodded: "Very good, let's send troops." ” Everyone made eye contact again, they could probably guess Liu Yan's mood, even if they really wanted to leave, it was a prerequisite to deal with the enemy army first.
"In addition, the widow is not going back to Chang'an."
Liu Yan was thoughtful, he glanced around at everyone, and said calmly: "The patrol can't be stopped. ” Encountering a little crisis is like a frightened bird fleeing back to the nest, that is not something Liu Yan can do.
He is not stubborn to maintain his dignity, but the matter of the patrol has long been notified to the world, and the patrol is terminated halfway, which will give the people of the world a sense that the old Liu family's rule of the country is not as firm as imagined, and then it will open a door called challenging the imperial authority.
Yu Yi broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead in an instant, and he finally reacted, the object of allegiance was not Chengping's Son of Heaven, but the founder of the country who was killed on horseback.
He also has a new understanding, the current Han State is definitely not the former Jin State, and it is never to escape or passively bear the crisis, but to take the initiative to crush the crisis.
"Your Majesty, the minister" Yu Yi reacted and saluted Liu Yan in fear, maybe it was fear or some other reason that caused him to stammer: "The minister is guilty, he shouldn't" Liu Yan knew that Yu Yi had already understood the seriousness, the ruler was destined not to show weakness, no weakness could be shown, even if the troops on this side would be wiped out, it was definitely not a choice to leave, it was related to the stability of the rule, and it was by no means a simple matter of whether a person's dynasty was shaken.
To put it plainly, once the ruler is weak, how many people will have the idea of "I can sit on that throne", and the rule of a dynasty with one family name is not stable, that is, the seeds of challenges are sown.

If the current ruler is brutal, it is of course a just cause to pay the price to overthrow, but the change of dynasty is rarely a "just cause", and more changes of dynasty are just a certain person or a certain group of people breeding undeserved ambitions, resulting in the fire of war burning the whole land, I don't know how many people shed their blood for someone's ambition, and how many innocent people died in the war of dynasty change again and again.
Of course, it does not mean that who must be loyal to whom, and if you can't survive, you still have to be patient, but as long as there is a ruling class in society, the dynasty or other forms of rule are just a different way, but a few people have ignited the fire of war for their own ambitions, and in addition to the ambitions of a few people, who is more beneficial is actually the victim.
Li Tan led the army into battle with great pressure, and his speech to the army generals and colonels was extremely clear, their attack was not to completely annihilate the enemy army, but to complete the defeat of the enemy army in the least time.
The generals will not be complete idiots, they know more or less what prompted such a military order, but it will inevitably be a little complicated in their hearts, after all, if they are patient, they can really complete the total annihilation of that enemy army.
Naturally, the commander-in-chief class would not say that to the soldiers, but would repeatedly emphasize that the purpose of going out to the army was to completely annihilate the enemy army, encouraging the tyranny of the soldiers, coupled with some spiritual encouragement, their goal in this battle was not only to be rewarded for meritorious service, but also to carry the great mission of defending the Son of Heaven.
If there is a move on the side of the Han army, the coalition side will naturally get feedback from the scouts.
On the grassland, as long as you can see anyone, then the other party will inevitably find out, especially the actions of a large army, unless you are not aware of the existence of the army in advance, or it can be said that you are under the nose of the other party anytime and anywhere.
"We have no way back."
The dragon was furious and roared, "Behind us is a burning wildfire in addition to endless ashes" The fires are sweeping through the grasslands, and where they have raged, they are leaving a trail of ashes.
If you think that after the fire on the grassland is extinguished, it means safety, then there is absolutely no basic common sense, they will enter an environment where there is no grass, people will be covered in ashes when they move a little, and more people will inevitably trample on the dust of the ashes, and even if the wind is stronger, the ashes will fly all over the sky.
Ignoring the water source, if you inhale too much ash, what can you do but die Fu Jian was also a little impatient, he thought of countless possibilities, and retreating was never one of the options.
"In addition to the fact that there is no way back, we are constantly under the onslaught of wild beasts, and thousands of warriors have fallen under the hooves of wild beasts."
The dragons had seen the scene with their own eyes, and all sorts of animals were charging like crazy, and anyone who stood in their way would be run over: "They don't know what death is, the trench can't be stopped, they fill the trench in front, and the one behind continues to rush with flesh."
We can only build enough campfires to make them afraid of the flames and not dare to rampage. ” Fu Jian has been sending detectives to investigate the other direction in the past few days, that is, the side of Hun Evil Mountain, and the information given by the detectives is that the Han army has also been found there, but it is not clear whether it is the original garrison or the transfer from behind.
He really wanted to suggest that Longdu break through from Hun Evil Mountain, but that conflicted with the original purpose, so not only could he not suggest that, but also dissuaded Long Du's action to break through to Hun Evil Mountain.
"We were originally going to attack the team of the Great Han Emperor."
Fu Jian was like a missionary with firm faith, with a righteous expression and tone, and said: "When you come, you will have the consciousness of dying on the battlefield, let's accomplish the initial goal":
